I Love You, My Little Dinosaur by Rose Rossner

medium-paced

3.0

 
This book is all right. I really appreciate the illustrations that are soft and textual. The story rhymes decently, but issues arrive with the cadence. The author is sometimes shoehorning the cadence in there, which makes it a tad tongue twister when reading aloud. The other thing that breaks up the cadence is the way the author has chosen to lay what words on what page. Sometimes the full stanza is on the page. Sometimes it’s half a stanza on this page half a stand on another. Then with the layout of the book in general, you have pages that are just illustrations and pages that are just words when most of the words could have been laid over the illustrations and been a much better. Overall, this book is not bad and there will be kids that thoroughly enjoy it.
